Blessings for Christmas Eve 2020

Rather than focus on the difficulties of the past year, I am focused on God's gifts.

As we prepare to Celebrate Christmas - even if only online with family - I am ever mindful of the reason we celebrate. God has given us the greatest gift of redemption through the blood of His son. That gift was planned from the beginning and reaches an important peak (not the climax) with the birth of Jesus.

I am sharing this song on Christmas Eve as it speaks to Mary's experience and how she offers what she can - herself - for God's plan. Luke 1:29-38. Do we submit and offer ourselves to the sovereignty of God?

I pray that you focus on your blessings this Christmas,
find peace and hope in God's gift,
and share His Love with others!
